OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENTS

Quite naturally, the prospective state
of transition from an ecclesiastical to an
American standpoint creates an unusual
stir in the body polite hereabouts. One
of the most interested and excited classes
embraces the SANITY ofIice-holding, bread
and.butter- brigade. Every individual ot
this disinterested, burden bearing lrater-
nifty have so long bowed the neck to the
yoke OF official bondage that it has be-
come a second nature to them. Some OF
them have inherited an itch for office
from polygamous ancestors, and through
prenatal influences are disposed to
scratch at the public expense. 1t seems
too bad to disturb these unseltish gentle
men, who have added acquired abilities
to their inherited qualifications as first
class adhesive barnacles on the churchly
ship OF State. The respected Governor
OF Utah will have herculean task in
cleaning the sides OF the overloaded YES
sell The sanity agitation OF these adhe-
sive officials is essentially human.
Years ago Brigham Young, in one OF
his earlier Thanksgiving proclamations,
said that in Kolob, the first world in
which he would be stationed af-
ter leaving this one, he would
meet the defunct elders at the
gates OF his royal residence
either with club or smile to reward
them according to their deserts. 1t is
surmised that his reported departure
from Kolob, and late arrival at his old
tramping ground, is due, not so much tc
the fact that he is debarred from marry
ing or being given in marriage in Kolob
as it is owing to the threatened starya
ton OF his brother prophets, seers ant
revelators by reason of being turned OH
of office through the action of the
Edmunds-Tucker bill. If at the las
moment Brigham, armed with super
natural power, should, like the angel a
the closed gates of Adams paradise
appear, swinging his two-edged swor'
in the face and eyes OF irrev
erent Gentiles, anxious to invad,
the official Paradise OF the Saints, wha
would the expectant Babylonians do
That Kolob-tempered blade would hey
its way through serried ranks OF deputies
armed with all the Latin labelled writ
in judicial arsenals. The Saints may sa
to their present feminines, as Brigham
once said to his multitudinous wives
"gop' but to official station and it
emoluments the bread and butter brig
ade will answer, 'No go!" to any de
mand for their place at the public crib.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-02-08

ABUSE OF judicial officers alternates in
the circumscribed Mormon mind with
delight al. the judicial victory in the
Snow case. The tide has so "continu-
ously" set against the Saints OF late
that segregation" OF i'll luck into
smaller doses is desirable The sunset
organ OF the Church will harp on the
supernatural side OF this victory OF the
Mormon deity, while the sunrise organ,
with a philosophic clearness peculiar TO
the haziness OF the atmosphere in which
it lives, moves and has its being, will
expound the legal and rational side OF the
question. But you can safely bet your
last dollar that both organs will draw on
their bass notes and in braying unison
berate and abuse Utah court officials.

MANNINGS STATEMENT.

Mr.. Manning, who is about to retire
from his position as Secretary of the
Treasury, comments at length, and with
reason and dignity, on the matters at
issue between this Nation and Great
Britain in the fishery question. He re-
grets, as all reasonable men must, the
little care and attention bestowed upon
the important matters OF reciprocal trade
between the provinces Of Canada and
this country. Fair-minded diplomacy
could have arranged the conditions
of mutually beneficial trade salts
factory to both parties. The pre-
vailing good feeling which, until the
fishery trouble arose, had prevailed
between Americans and Canadians, fore
shadowed an eventual union OF all the
people OF North America under one flag
If Great Britain desires to keep the
slight hold she now has upon her Cana
| dian dependencies, or If she foresees the
time when they will become an indie
pendent nation, and as such, with in
terests somewhat hostile to this Repub
lie, will naturally side with England il
any quarrel which may hereafter aris'
between that nation and our own, thu
present state of hostile feeling will b.
hailed as a godsend.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-02-08

further, declares against more than one
criminal charge within given time. In
other words, in the case of horse-thief
who has stolen horse each day for six
successive days, cannot six successive
indictments hold good against him, sup
posing it was the self-same horse that
had been stolen and retaken each day.
a legal objection might apply to in
serting the six counts in one indict-
ment. but it is evident that there
have been six distinct and separate
crimes committed. Horse-stealing is not
yet declared continuous offense; !" for
every horse stolen the thief is liable to
suffer punishment. For every plural
wife with whom Saint unlawfully CO
habits, on the same principle, he would
be liable to punishment. There is nc
great loss without some small gain. The
crowded dining tables OF the penitentiary
will be relieved from boarders with
growing appetites, and room made fol
others to whom Uncle Sans generous
supply will furnish welcome and needed
bill OF fare.

THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT.

Human nature, in the supreme hour
OF final dissolution OF the body, asserts
itself as of immortal parentage. The
recent terrible railroad slaughter
in Vermont furnishes incidents
from common life of the SUI
periority OF the immortal spirit
over pain and certain death, A Cana
dian and his son, boy OF fifteen or six
teen, went down in that terrible leap
into the arms OF death. The father was
last in the grasp OF broken timbers, and
the merciless fire was fast approaching.
The boy, manned and bruised, liberated
himself from the wreck and found his
father fast, at DEATHS door. After almost
superhuman efforts to drag him from the
timbers which pinned him fast and the
fiery flame about to consume both, the
father said, "My boy, it is useless, must
die. Goodbye, be Il good boy and
we shall meet again." and death claimed
its own. Mr.. Tewksbury, who escaped
with a broken leg and arm, noticed an
aged couple some three or four seats
ahead of him who were hopelessly tied
down by heavy seats. "Flames ap-
preached the couple with frightful rapid
ity and the aged pair seemed to feel that
there was no hope for them. The last he
saw of them they were locked in each
others arms and kissing each other"
Girded around with temptation, beset
and belittled by the swarm OF petty cares
that forever circle around the pathway OF
this material and routine life of ours, we
fail to appreciate the high destiny to
which the immortal spirit may rightfully
aspire. All the limitations and clogs
of this mortal life give way and
disappear in presence OF the dusky
angel of death even in his most terrible
garb. Not the pains OF an awful death
could turn aside the poor Canadian from
self-iorgetting care for his suffering boys
future welfare; and the aged couple
who had trod life's rugged path
way side by side, perhaps thanked
God that together in chariot
of fire they might enter the heavens
Neither in life nor in death were they
divided, and the loving and triumphant
spirits untouched and unappalled by
the defacing hand OF death, were vic
torious over all Let us in view OF the
possibilities of the individual soul, and
